Like a breath of fresh air and the wind at my back
 Toe to heel with strong strides taking miles off the map
 In this journey called life where I've walked so far
 Under the heat of your sun and the shine of your stars
 Step by step I've crept, I've crawled, and I've run
 Felt the palm of your hand and the barrel of death's gun
 I ran for my life stood strong through strife
 From a miscarried life to waiting for my wife like
 I heard it sung a thousand strong all night long
 Heard heaven's bell going something long, it's like
 I've been there in total despair
 Now I've tasted and I've touched
 A breath of fresh air
 
 'Cause I do live and I hope and pray
 For something better and brighter today
 For something there for something there
 
 [CHORUS:]
 'Cause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world
 But you gave me more love that set me free
 'Cause I was just a poor boy living in a poor world
 But you have gave me more love that set me free
 
 Like road trips on open roads
 Windows down sun setting and fresh new clothes
 Shoes off so you can stop reflect on all these paths unfolding
 With these staffs that are pulling in this world so controlling
 It's not always best to take the interstate
 Sometimes the most is on the windy coast way
 'Cause wide is the path pulling astray
 Narrow is the truth in these days
 But all the while I hear a still small voice say
 You climbed the cliffs rocked the desert on your very own
 Swam the seas, sang the songs with the sweetest tones
 The beaches you've combed, moons you've roamed the love you've shown
 But all the while a voice calls you home
 
 'Cause I do live and I hope and pray
 For something better and brighter today
 For something there for something there
